Experienced
Ever since I broke my right leg in Feb / 2024 I had to at least temporarily give up standing up and playing.
Quite frankly, aside from the wear and tear to your back, neck, knees, and feet I find standing up easier than sitting to play the guitar.
When I switched to sitting down due to my injury I found it harder to make the transition. Sure I could see the strings easier which is an advantage sometimes but the awkward angle of my fingers and wrists to the guitar made it harder to ring out some notes , especially from chords clearly. It was like suddenly, sitting down they became muffled.
Has anyone experienced this during a standing to sitting transition , especially after many years playing only standing? How did you resolve it. It's not really practice , it's wrist angle. It has to do with physiology.
